Yet another race and yet another delayed review. Well, I apologize once again but I’m really very busy with my study schedules. Anyways, I thought this is the right time to push this one through before the start of next Grand Prix which by the way, will take place tonight! Fernando Alonso capitalized on his expertise and registered another race victory to his name. His young rookie team mate, Lewis Hamilton finished a close second as the entire racing fraternity witnessed McLaren decimating their opposition ruthlessly.
The race was all over for Kimi Raikkonen on the qualifying day itself when he slammed his car into the famous Monaco barriers which resulted in him starting the race from 16th on the grid. He finished the race in 8th place, collecting a crucial single point in the process. His team mate and his biggest opposition so far this season, Felipe Massa managed a 3rd place on the grid and in the race to savor the moment for Ferrari. He, however, finished the race 65 seconds behind the winning duo, which isn’t something to be proud about. The rest of the field were as usual, going round and round in yet another boring F1 procession this year.
Its clear that Ferrari and the rest have a lot of catching up to do to get anywhere close near the McLaren who seems to have settled everything perfectly this season and are looking strong to clinch both the titles. The next race might see the resurgence of Ferrari, which is the first of back-to-back races in the continent of America. We look forward to seeing some exciting races in the coming weeks.
